Yekooche

Yekooche takes its name from the mouth of Yeko, a place in the lake country west of Stuart Lake. The Yekoochet’en are Dakelh people whose ancestral lands include the waterways linking Stuart, Trembleur and neighbouring lakes. Families used fishing places, trails and camps across this country, gathering in warmer months for salmon and other food. Portages between the lakes allowed travellers to cross the divides between their waterways.
